We prove that there exists a C*-diagonal with Cantor spectrum in the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_k$ for $2 \le k < \infty$. Our method generalises to an uncountable family of UCT Kirchberg algebras with distinct K-theory. Moreover, we…

We construct uncountably many mutually nonisomorphic simple separable stably finite unital exact C$^\ast$-algebras which are not isomorphic to their opposite algebras. In particular, we prove that there are uncountably many possibilities…

Given a $k$-graph $\Lambda$ and an element $p$ of $\NN^k$, we define the dual $k$-graph, $p\Lambda$. We show that when $\Lambda$ is row-finite and has no sources, the $C^*$-algebras $C^*(\Lambda)$ and $C^*(p\Lambda)$ coincide. We use this…

We obtain a characterization of the unital C*-algebras with the property that every element is a limit of products of positive elements, thereby answering a question of Murphy and Phillips.

Motivated by classical facts concerning closed manifolds, we introduce a strong finiteness property in K-homology. We say that a C*-algebra has uniformly summable K-homology if all its K-homology classes can be represented by Fredholm…

We compute the K-theory of ring C*-algebras for polynomial rings over finite fields. The key ingredient is a duality theorem which we had obtained in a previous paper. It allows us to show that the K-theory of these algebras has a ring…

Given a countable abelian group $A$, we construct a row finite directed graph $\Gamma(A)$ such that the $K_{0}$-group of the graph $\textrm{C}^{\ast}$-algebra $\textrm{C}^{\ast}(\Gamma(A))$ is canonically isomorphic to $A$. Moreover, each…

In this paper we give a complete description of K-theory groups for Cuntz-Krieger C*-algebras associated to general locally-finite (topologically connected) graphs via Bass-Hashimoto operator. Our result generalizes the one obtained by the…

We prove that a C$^*$-algebra $A$ has uniform property $\Gamma$ if the set of extremal tracial states, $\partial_e T(A)$, is a non-empty compact space of finite covering dimension and for each $\tau \in \partial_e T(A)$, the von Neumann…

Topological quivers generalize the notion of directed graphs in which the sets of vertices and edges are locally compact (second countable) Hausdorff spaces. Associated to a topological quiver $Q$ is a $C^*$-correspondence, and in turn, a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a torsion free lattice in $G = \PGL(n+1,\FF)$, where $n\ge 1$ and $\FF$ is a non-archimedean local field. Then $\Gamma$ acts on the Furstenberg boundary $G/P$, where $P$ is a minimal parabolic subgroup of $G$. The identity…

We derive a lower and an upper bound for the rank of the finite part of operator $K$-theory groups of maximal and reduced $C^*$-algebras of finitely generated groups. The lower bound is based on the amount of polynomially growing conjugacy…

The genus gen(D) of a finite-dimensional central division algebra D over a field F is defined as the collection of classes [D'] in the Brauer group Br(F), where D' is a central division F-algebra having the same maximal subfields as D. For…

We revisit the notion of tracial approximation for unital simple C*-algebras. We show that a unital simple separable C*-algebra A is asymptotically tracially in the class of C*-algebras with finite nuclear dimension if and only if A is…

We study the notion of $\Gamma$-graded commutative algebra for an arbitrary abelian group $\Gamma$. The main examples are the Clifford algebras already treated by Albuquerque and Majid. We prove that the Clifford algebras are the only…

We consider a smooth compact manifold with boundary, $M$, embedded in a smooth manifold of the same dimension on which an amenable group $\Gamma$ acts by isometries. We do not assume $M$ to be invariant under $\Gamma$. This results in a…

We introduce the notion of self-similarity for compact quantum groups. For a finite set $X$, we introduce a $C^*$-algebra $\mathbb{A}_X$, which is the quantum automorphism group of the infinite homogeneous rooted tree $X^*$. Self-similar…

We consider the semigroup crossed product of the additive natural numbers by the multiplicative natural numbers. We study its Toeplitz C*-algebra generated by the right-regular representation, which we call the right Toeplitz algebra. We…

A semigroupoid is a set equipped with a partially defined associative operation. Given a semigroupoid \Lambda we construct a C*-algebra C*(\Lambda) from it. We then present two main examples of semigroupoids, namely the Markov semigroupoid…

We extend the usual theory of universal C*-algebras from generators and relations in order to allow some relations to be described using the strong operator topology. In particular, we can allow some infinite sum relations. We prove a…
